Back Talk

He didn’t exactly deny media bias - a monumental task considering all the evidence to the contrary including admissions by several of the media giants – so he advised Conservatives to stop crying about media bias and about the predominance of liberal teachers and college professors. He is absolutely right about the futility of crying; as I have often said, “It is what it is and it isn’t going to change.” I’ve always known about the bias, but, as a Liberal, I was fine with it because it validated my own views. However, as a newly minted Conservative – the worst kind – I feel free to shine the light on obvious press partisanship that poses as news and to expose left-wing teachers and professors when they propagandize our youth. Unquestionably, the media and their beneficiaries, the Liberals, would rather Conservatives clam up about it, but I don’t see that happening.
My fellow blogger posed a couple of questions. The first: would we Conservatives rather have those liberal professors on welfare rather than teaching? This one is too easy; of course I would rather have them unemployed than have them indoctrinating pliable 18 year-olds who look up to those professors for life’s answers. They instill the Liberal crusader mindset into those kids, some of whom never leave the education system and become future indoctrinators. Perhaps I was just a naïve small town kid but, as a 17 year-old attending my first college history class, I soaked up every word from the Marxist professor who seemed to be on a mission to glorify socialist philosophy. I walked away thinking Lenin was a superhero. The second question was more challenging: To fix the problem, why don’t more Conservatives enter journalism or teaching? Conservatives sometime post-college tumbled to the airy, feel-good, think with the heart and not the brain, lofty liberal crusade stuff. They recognized the empty but nice-sounding phrases as just that; e.g., care for the poor, the homeless, world peace, free health care, take from the rich and give to the poor, big business is evil, pacifism is the only way, and some pot for every chicken. They are uninterested in a lifelong crusade of indoctrinating people and turn their attention to starting their own business, a successful career, marriage, and family. His suggestion to Conservatives for combating the problem is for more of them to get into journalism field. For Conservatives to enter journalism and write their slant on the news hardly solves the core problem; Tainted news is still tainted news.
